Inna Vishik

Dr. Inna Vishik is an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of California, Davis, specializing in advanced experimental techniques to probe quantum materials. Her research centers on high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and ultrafast optical spectroscopy to investigate electronic structure, surface phenomena, and dynamics in topological materials and superconductors.

Her primary research interests include:

• Electronic structure of quantum materials
• Topological semimetals (Weyl and Dirac systems)
• Superconductivity and time-reversal symmetry breaking
• Mesoscale chemical and electronic inhomogeneity
• Ultrafast carrier dynamics
• Surface chemistry effects on electronic properties

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on symmetry-enforced degeneracies in superconductors, mesoscale variations in Weyl semimetals like CoSnS and Co₃Sn₂S₂, and the development of advanced ARPES methodologies. She has pioneered the AARDVARK software suite for real-time data visualization and adaptive automation in photoemission research, enhancing experimental precision in quantum material studies.

Dr. Vishik maintains an active experimental program utilizing state-of-the-art ARPES and ultrafast optical setups. Her laboratory focuses on correlating local chemistry with electronic structure in quantum materials, particularly through combined ARPES and XPS techniques to visualize surface phenomena at mesoscopic scales.
